Your Maytag Neptune
is designed to use high efficiency (HE)
detergents.
• For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency
detergent such as Tide
or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain
®
suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds.
When less suds are produced, the load tumbles
more efficiently and cleaning results are
maximized.
If HE detergent is not available, regular detergent
may be used.
• If using regular detergent formulated for
top-loading washers, it is important to pay close
attention to the soil level of the load, load size,
and water hardness**. To avoid over-
sudsing, which interferes with tumbling,
rinsing and spinning and causes
extended cycle times, reduce the
amount of detergent used with soft
water or with small or lightly soiled
loads.
NOTE: Reducing the amount of detergent may
reduce cleaning. It is important to pretreat stains,
sort carefully by color and soil level and avoid
overloading.
* Brand names for products are registered trademarks of
the respective manufacturer(s).
** To determine water hardness in your area, contact your local
water utility or State University Extension office in your area.
